Doesn't seem to be his thing or a priority and to a certain degree I think we are 5th in scoring in the league but yes lots of times you'd expect a kick out that doesn't happen.

Hard to criticize this kid.

And this is also why Josh will prob start over Deuce?

Mais oui

He has to loose some weight. He needs to be able to switch and guard wings. He is not playing the 4/5 but the 4/3. Come Yabu get on the Atkins plan and do some more cardio. You got game but your too slow right now. Loose like 8 lbs.

And here I thought you may like them thick

We shall call him Flabu

I'm ready to make a few bold statements:
1) He's the best French player to ever play for or get drafted by the Knicks.
2) He's the best prospect that we've drafted since RJ Barrett (No disrespect to Deuce)

This kid looks to be 6'11 and can do everything. He can pass, hecan handle the ball like a PG, he can shoot, he can dribble penetrate to the basket, he can play defense, he can rebound, and even block shots. Once he develops a post game like OG did it's a wrap! Unbelieveable to get a kid with this talent at the tail end of the draft. He looks like a lottery pick to me. He kind of reminds me of what Jared Jeffries was supposed to be when he got drafted out of Indiana, but never became. And to top it off he is being mentored by the two best possible players for him to follow: Mikal and OG.

It reminds me of when we were watching Deuce early on and you could see there was something different about him than the other scrubs we drafted in the past (i.e. Toney Douglas, Frank Williams, etc). We have literally hit the jackpot, we got a lottery pick with a 50 something pick, and because of where he was pick there's absolutely no pressure or expectations on him. If we drafted him with let's say a 10th pick, there would be all of this pressure on him and the organization around his development. We can just slowly bring him along and keep him under the radar until after the trade deadline. Last year our offense started off blazing then the league adjusted and figured us out once they got film on us. They're going to do the same again this year but this time we got an adjustment to their adjustment-- a skinny French kid named Mohamed Diawara!

Someone he smashed

Ha, it was Kevin Love's wife. But knowing the way players like to recycle the same chicks, I wouldn't be shocked if he also smashed.

Need to get Yabu on her diet - maybe Mitchy as well.

He did seem to have a bug up his ass (maybe due to Huck getting his minutes) but he posted up nice and drove very physically to the hoop —— showing some aggression we haven’t seen much of this far.

Right now I’m thinking of how to trade him

WOW - that’s a lot you are high on….hope you are spot.

Thinking back I think Frank showed more offense rookie year vs. Diawarra but good old Frank never had it in him to improve. Diaw area does seem to have more aggressive nature vs. Frank.

Look at all that player movement for a clip that is only 4 seconds long. 4 out of the 5 players moving and the 5th is in the corner for spacing.

Defenses have not figured out the Knicks’ wheel rotation offense. You have a cutter to the rim and corner 3 guys too.

Has anyone seen this type of thing before? I don’t watch other teams closely enough
